Just wanted to know how many DP's are into it. I lift 4-5 times a week. Its what I look forward to each day.
I am from time to time....need to get back on the wagon. Look for Grim - he works out 4-5 times a day
Yep. Post your stats guys! 18 years old, 145 lbs, lifting for 1 month (previously lifted for 4 months last year). Bench: 135 Squat: 215 Deadlift: 265 Lifting 3 times a week, MWF. Looking for strength gains (powerlifting) as opposed to bodybuilding. Whey, creatine. I own you. Charles
My stats are male 18 soon 19 160lbs lifitng for 2 years: Bench: 240 max bench Dumbell Bench: 100x3reps (max) Tricep Dips (with 45lb plate): 20reps
You should wait with the creatine, your body will gain enough strenght on his own when you just started lifting. Better invest the money in some protein.
I myself LIVE FOR IT! Tim I'm only lifting once per day ATM and taking Saturday and Sunday off. Now you gave me a complex, I better hit the gym a bit more!!! Stats, I don't really max out. 6'3" 230-240 lbs Bench easily 325 or so even with my injured shoulder. If the shoulder would ever heal I'm confident I'd be in the 400+ range pretty damn quick.
I'm 29, I have been lifting for close to a year now I lifted years ago when I was in school, started up again for a few months when I was like 25 then quit but this time am back better and more dedicated than ever.
woah that guy above whose 18 is lifting good, im 17 and lifting evert few days but that much yet what creatine do u use?
anon is big into lifting, so is 'big doug' he makes me look like a mouse.. One of these days if I ever have a spotter I'll have to trully max, I have yet to have a spotter when I lift. My max's are done by myself with weights I know I can handle w/o problems for safety.
Yup. I get up almost every morning and immediately begin the "up ... down ... up ... down." Then I open the other eyelid.
Eyelids, GRIM, eyelids. But seriously, until recently I visited the gym two times, sometimes three times, a week to lift. I'm told that resistance training at my age (63) is very important to increase agility and to strengthen our weakening bones. Both those factors are important in preventing injuries by falling among older folks. I intend to get back into weight training after this vacation we are on.
If you talking about me, no I dont use creatine. I use whey protein. Whey protein is probably one of the if not the best legal supplements that one can take. Most bodybuilders agree on this. Basically since getting to college Ive just upted my daily protein intake a bunchload and its working good. If you want me to go into greater details I would be glad to help. I love talking about weightlifting its so much fun. Take care
